South Causey Inn - Websuite
Located between Durham City and Newcastle, South Causey is an independent hotel set in the picturesque Beamish Valley. With an array of stylishly unique accommodation, there are deluxe bedrooms with hot tubs, rooms with outdoor hot tubs and even a one-of-a-kind 1960s converted double-decker vintage-styled bus to stay in. You can even get married in style with a traditional country setting or host an event at one of the many meeting spaces available.
Relaxation is key at South Causey. Their charming surroundings, home-cooked rustic fare and on-site distilled Gin provide the perfect retreat. And if you can’t bear to leave man’s best friend behind, canine companions are welcome with dog-friendly rooms and walks nearby.
The aim
South Causey wanted a website design that brought all the quirky aspects of their property to life through the use of imagery and video. We were spoilt for choice with the vast range of photography supplied which made the design concepts stage come easily together for us. South Causey has so many different and unique elements to their property which is a dream brief for our designers. Creatively we could explore how to highlight their unique bedroom types and have fun with their dog-friendly offering, RIP Gin and the vintage double-decker bus accommodation.
The solution
A statement website with subtle animation used across a range of key elements of the site to draw attention to the user. Bold use of imagery enhancing the design framework and streamlined functionality to make the user journey as simple and engaging as possible. The 3 step OBM drives direct bookings and is fully integrated with the Guestline distribution and PMS products with bookings, rates and availability all automatically updated across the client's PMS in real-time. The new-look design and 3-step OBM work together to assure prospective guests they’re getting the best rate by going direct and reducing abandoned bookings.
